hwmon: (scpi-hwmon) shows the negative temperature properly
The scpi hwmon shows the sub-zero temperature in an unsigned integer, which would confuse the users when the machine works in low temperature environment. This shows the sub-zero temperature in an signed value and users can get it properly from sensors.
